More Under The Cut

.เรื่องย่อ : The friendship between Mary and Nix had endured since childhood, a seemingly unbreakable bond, until the mid-1980s, when the two young women embarked on a summer vacation in Greece. It was a trip initiated by Nix, who had just learned that Mary had been diagnosed with a disease that would cut her life short and who was determined that it be the vacation of a lifetime. But by the time their visit to Greece was over, Nix had withdrawn from their friendship, and Mary had no idea why. Three years later, Nix is dead, and Mary returns to Europe to try to understand what went wrong. In the process she meets the first of many men that she will spend time with as she travels throughout the world. Through them she experiences not only a sexual awakening but a spiritual and emotional awakening that allows her to understand how the past and the future are connected and to appreciate the freedom to live life adventurously.

One young woman, Nicole (or Nix), will vanish. The other, her best friend, Mary, will live her life trying to collect every experience and many a man before the clock ticks out on her. In Mary’s case, the clock is ticking fast: She has cystic fibrosis. Her skin tastes like salt. Her lungs fill with mucous. She survives with the help of all manner of medical paraphernalia. Sometimes it seems that she will not survive at all.

Common wisdom says that Mary should live at home, in Ohio, with her loving adoptive parents and near the doctor who knows how to manage her case. But three years after the treacherous vacation the girls shared in Greece, Mary heads off to London, where Nix was last known to live. She wants to know what became of her best friend. She wants to understand what happened in Mykonos, what terrible secrets Nix never shared.

She wants to live like Nix might have lived, and so she masquerades as (and slowly becomes) a wild woman living among wild men — a heroin addict, for one; a thief, for another; a former gymnast who performs on the street, for a third. Mary calls herself Nicole. She seeks sex — not romance, not seduction. She neglects her health. She takes what she can. She nearly bleeds out on an underground train. She barks at the man who tries to help to leave her be.

It’s not pretty, but it’s the life Mary wants, or a version of the thing that this slight blond with cascading curls keeps chasing — to Japan, to Africa, to Mexico, to the Canary Islands, to Amsterdam, to Morocco. Even proposed to by a kindhearted safari leader, Mary bolts. Even married to a nearly perfect man, a doctor who can take care of her lungs and her heart, Mary seeks out other men. How do you cram it all in? What would you want to cram in? How do you live a whole life in a curtailed time frame?

And who will blame you if you live selfishly, greedily, untrustworthily? Who will love you nonetheless? Who will understand how you — this you — wants, most of all, to be a mother?
